Well, the sideshow barker has, again, managed to lead the rubes away from the issue at hand and create an unrelated divisive matter to rail against. As usual, it deflects attention from his own hateful, racist and inept performances.

Do the "patriots" opposed to the NFL players' recent actions during the national anthem realize Kaepernick's actions were taken last year, and no one, at that time, said it was a referendum on the flag or the national anthem? Some felt he didn't select the proper venue to express his protest about disparate police treatment of minorities. Maybe they're right, but it wasn't a violent attack on what the flag stands for. If anything, kneeling with his head down may have been an expression of sadness that, in that instance, he felt other Americans weren't living out those ideals.

As for the Blowhard-In-Chief, I wish he had told the employers of people who march under the flags of groups that actually took up arms against the American flag that they should "fire those SOBs," instead of telling us there were "many fine people" in those groups.
